The best available hotels & places to stay near Chattanooga

July 28, 2022 Moriah Teneyck

The name "Chattanooga" comes from the Creek Indian word for "rock coming to a point." This refers to Lookout Mountain, one of the city's major attractions. Here visitors can explore extraordinary rock formations, see a roaring enclosed waterfall and travel by train to the top of the mountain for truly awesome vistas. Back down on the ground, don't miss the world's largest freshwater aquarium, the Tennessee Aquarium. History enthusiasts will love the city's museums dedicated to Civil War, Native American and 20th-century history. More than anything, Chattanooga is a scenic city, full of natural wonders waiting to be explored by foot, car, bike or train.

From the location, to the staff, but the overall look of this hotel it was perfect. We were able to walk every where we wanted to go. There is a Starbuck's downstairs in the lobby. The pool area is indoors, but so relaxing with the fountain. We took many pictures in the hotel because it was soooo beautiful! I will definitely be bringing our friends back!

A wonderful stay in Chattanooga

Reviewed By Timothy W

My wife and I recently visited Chattanooga for the first time. We were very impressed by the city and in particular its people. The folks at the Chattanoogan exemplified this! A shout out especially to Jake, Carly, and Chef Kris. The hotel itself is in a nice quiet location and is a short Uber ride to downtown with its outstanding restaurants and bars. The rooms were clean and the on-site restaurant was great for breakfast. Looking forward to our next stay at the Chattanoogan!

Trip from Fl to MN and about an hour before we stop I start reading reviews. This was a great choice for us. Friendly and professional check-in, clean lobby, room and breakfast area, good shower and quiet good size room with frig and coffee maker which is a must for me! Couldn't get TV on and gentleman came right up and moved out the dresser it was on and it had been unplugged. Breakfast was good. Waffles, sausages, eggs, cereals, breads and donuts. We did feel the same way as others that we did not leave anything valuable in the car, but was very happy with our stay.

4 stars but not excellent

The location is very convenient to Lookout Mountain attractions. Staff was friendly and check in was easy. My only complaint is our bathroom was in need of cosmetic updates. Shower grout and floor tile needs to be cleaned and repaired. Overall, I’d stay here again.

No More LaQuinta

Reviewed By Mdh1199

Nail in the coffin: no more LaQuintas! This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. We Turned to LaQuinta years ago when we began to travel with dogs. I know these hotels are hit or miss, but I’ve never stayed in anything this gross, and I’ve stayed in a lot of them. The worst part is that the photos on line are highly deceptive. Everything from what appears to be pee stains, hair, stains on the ceilings (what the heck)….just gross. The halls are hot and smell like weed. I have to wonder if this is the result of Wyndham purchasing the chain? I get that these are lower end hotels, but cleanliness! Now, finally, why the one star. Two reasons (1) Travelocity does not allow a negative star rating (2) the lady working the front desk was fantastic, so I guess if I would have given the hotel itself a negative 5 stars, she boosted it to one.
